Hello,

I am planning to set up an internet cafe.

Is there any software to help me do the following:
A user clicks print, a window pops up asking for them to enter the number off the card they have just purchased to allow them to print a certain amount (eg/ 3 sheets). If they do not have enough credit the printing is blocked.

The system must not require any staff to use the computers.

Thanks

We have just implemented PrintManager Plus for our networks. It doesn't work exactly how you would like but it's a solution if you can't find what your after. We are a college and so far this solution has been very successful.

You could have each person using a different user account, then when the pay up front just add credit to their account for printing. Once they have used this credit, they won't be able to print.
